Battery device

Abstract

A battery device comprising a battery, which comprises a first battery contact and a second battery contact, each contact located on an upper surface of the battery. A connection means functions to releasably attach to the first battery contact and second battery contact. A first vertical member, extending generally vertically from the connection means is substantially aligned with first battery contact, and a second vertical member, extends generally vertically from the connection means and is substantially aligned with second battery contact. A generally pliable upper member is securely affixed to upper distal ends of the first vertical member and second vertical member, the upper member formed into a previously determined shape recognizable by a user. The upper member includes an illumination means thereon, the illumination means powered by the battery utilizing first vertical member and second vertical member as conduits therefor. In the preferred mode, the illumination means comprises a plurality of colored LED devices thereon.

What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims: 
     
       1. A battery device (10) comprising: A) a battery (12), which comprises a first battery contact (12A), and a second battery contact (12B), each contact located on an upper surface of the battery (12);   B) a connection means (14) functioning to releasably attach to the first battery contact (12A) and second battery contact (12B);   C) a first vertical member (16A), extending generally vertically from the connection means (14) substantially aligned with first battery contact (12A);   D) a second vertical member (16B), extending generally vertically from the connection means (14) substantially aligned with second battery contact (12B); and   E) a generally pliable upper member (18), securely affixed to upper distal ends of the first vertical member (16A) and second vertical member (16B), the upper member (18) formed into a previously determined shape recognizable by a user, the upper member further comprising an illumination means (20) thereon, the illumination means (20) powered by the battery (12) utilizing first vertical member (16A) and second vertical member (16B) as conduits therefor.   
     
     
       2. The battery device (10) as described in claim 1, wherein the battery is a nine-volt battery which functions as a base support structure for the first vertical member (16A), second vertical member (16B), and upper member (18). 
     
     
       3. The battery device (10) as described in claim 1, wherein the illumination means comprises a plurality of LED devices. 
     
     
       4. The battery device (10) as described in claim 3, wherein the LED devices illuminate in varying colors. 
     
     
       5. The battery device (10) as described in claim 3, wherein the LED devices flash and illuminate in previously determined alternate increments. 
     
     
       6. The battery device (10) as described in claim 1, wherein the upper member is formed into a shape selected from the group consisting of a five-point star, a six-point star, a tree, a flower, a heart, a shamrock, a pumpkin, a turkey, a flag, a snowflake, a face, a person, an animal, at least one letter, and at least one number. 
     
     
       7. The battery device (10) as described in claim 1, wherein the device includes indicia thereon. 
     
     
       8. The battery device (10) as described in claim 1, wherein the battery is substantially covered by an outer covering means. 
     
     
       9. The battery device (10) as described in claim 1, wherein the first vertical member (16A) and second vertical member (16B) are substantially covered by an outer covering means. 
     
     
       10. The battery device (10) as described in claim 1, wherein the device may be easily assembled and disassembled by a user. 
     
     
       11. The battery device (10) as described in claim 1, wherein the upper member (18) may be formed into a previously determined desired shape by a user.
